Biography
Charles Allen Culberson was born in Dadeville, Alabama in 1855, but his family moved to Texas a year later, settling in Gilmer and then in Jefferson. Culberson became a lawyer in Jefferson in 1877, and he moved to Dallas in 1887. From 1890 to 1895, he served as Attorney General of Texas, and he then served as Governor from 1895 to 1899 and as a US Senator from 1899 to 1923. His health problems, alcoholism, and opposition to the Ku Klux Klan cost him re-election in 1922, and he died in 1925.
